​​Introduction to UC520-8U-2BRI-K9-factory-4.2.8.cfg​​

This factory configuration file is designed for Cisco Unified Communications 500 Series (UC500) devices with Basic Rate Interface (BRI) gateway functionality. It serves as a standardized provisioning template to restore UC520-8U-2BRI-K9 systems to their default state, aligning with Cisco’s validated architecture for small business voice and data integration. The “4.2.8” version identifier confirms compatibility with Cisco Configuration Assistant (CCA) 4.2.x management tools.

Originally released in Q4 2024 under Cisco’s legacy support program, this file ensures compliance with ITU-T Q.SIG protocols for ISDN-BRI trunking. It targets organizations requiring rapid deployment of pre-configured telephony services, including auto-attendant setups and hunt groups.
